BERLIN (Reuters) - Three suspected Islamist militants who were planning to attack American targets in Germany had orders to act by Sept. 15 and knew police were hot on their trail before their arrest, a magazine said on Saturday.
The plan was foiled on Tuesday when police arrested two German converts to Islam and a Turk in the biggest German police investigation in the last 30 years.
According to surveillance details published in Der Spiegel magazine, the men had been given a two-week deadline for their planned strikes in a late August call from northern Pakistan that was monitored by German police.
In another detail to emerge on Saturday, a spokeswoman for the Federal Prosecutors Office in Karlsruhe confirmed a Focus magazine report that the suspects had obtained three small used vans in France and brought them to Germany.
The suspected militants, identified by German media as Fritz Gelowicz, Daniel Martin Schneider and Adem Yilmaz, had material to make bombs with power equal to 550 kilograms of TNT and were believed to be planning simultaneous car bombs across Germany.
Authorities were not immediately available to comment on the reported identities of the suspects.
Officials have said all three had trained in militant camps in Pakistan before forming a domestic cell of the "Islamic Jihad Union" -- a little known al Qaeda-affiliated Sunni Muslim group with roots in Uzbekistan.
According to Der Spiegel, two of the militants mentioned "a disco filled with American sluts" along with airports, nightclubs or a U.S. military base as targets during a July 20 conversation that was bugged by police. Continued...
This was timed to coincide with the Master Butt-Ugly Muslim Terrorist's latest "video".
Either as Nazis or as Islamo-fascists, one way or another, a strain of Germanity sure is keen on wiping out the Jews.
Same day the Patraeus report comes out.
It’s on the 11th isn’t it? Congress set the deadline for the report as the 15th, I believe.
Don't forget the RAF Communist terrorists in the 1970s-1980s. They were virulently antisemitic and cooperated with Muslim terrorists.
I had no idea. Thanks.
Thank you Lord, that they were able to stop these guys! Now, how many are out there still?
By the way, I like your tagline!
Going for a tet offensive...

I'd like to declare myself to be
Knowing this, our government doesn’t block the borders to all members of the death cult?
Then our government is responsible for the next attack.
What have we not found....what is yet waiting?
You mean like a distraction while another plot goes on unhampered? That's a chilling thought.
The Evil One wants to destroy Elohim's Chosen People It is the Evil One who will inhabit any empty vessel to do his will.

Same to you, my friend.
My mistake. Could also add the Neo-Nazis, who had a big chunk of white youth in Germany under their sway.
May YHvH bless you and keep you:
